>>2617308depends on what you mean by "fish out of." you can fish out of a touring kayak, obviously not optimally. if you mean stand up and fish, probably not. but for sitting and fishing, that's the whole appeal of offshore fishing kayaks. they are more efficient to paddle since they are longer and narrower. something like the wilderness systems tarpon 140 is a shorter version of an offshore fishing kayak, so it will be a bit more nimble than the longer ones. they also have the 120. they are very old designs that have been updated over the years.
